mrg e7e33e2136 miniroot changes:
install.sub:
	- fix interface grovelling, ifmedia support, allow ifmedia and link
	  to have a "none" (-> "") answer (which lets you give nothing when
	  a default answer is given)
	- allow installing more than one set at a time, including "all" as
	  a synonym for all remaining sets
	- mount -o async when extracting sets
    makeconf.awk:
	- put default "libs" section at the end rather than the start, so
	  you can put other "libs" in before this list
	- minor cleanup

    mtree.conf:
	- create /kern

    sparc install.md:
	- MDSETS are now "kern xbase xcomp xcontrib xfont xserver"
	- use /kern & kernfs (replaces dmesg)
	- replace grep & cut pipe lines with sed
	- replace grep hackery with sed hackery
	- grep and cut are no longer required!  yay!
	- deal with no /usr/bin/vi -- call disklabel -i
	- in md_copy_kern() link the netbsd.GENERIC we got from the kern set,
	  rather than the miniroot kernel
    sparc miniroot list:
	- no more dmesg, cut or grep

sparc ramdisk changes:
    Makefile:
	- `ramdiskbin.conf' is now generated by makeconf.awk
	- don't use libhack's opendir, it breaks
    dot.profile:
	- don't assume terminal is `sun'
	- set EDITOR=ed
	-
    list:
	- instbin -> ramdiskbin to make `makeconf.awk' work
	- CRUNCHSPECIAL those special dirs
	- add our LIBS as necessary

libhack changes:
	- if NOLIBHACKOPENDIR is set, don't build opendir.o

Subject: New ramdisk, tiny shell, etc.
[ edited since the original mail ]

As part of my efforts to build a RAM-disk root kernel for the
sun3 port, I've developed some things that others may want:

New RAM-disk: [ see sys/dev/ramdisk.c ]

New "small/tiny" tools, to replace some of the larger
programs that one usually wants on a ramdisk root:

ssh: (small shell)
  * Consumes only about 8K of memory on an m68k!
    (saves about 100K in the ramdisk...)
  * Can run programs, possibly with I/O redirection
  * Just enough to let you run the programs needed
    while partitioning and copying miniroot to swap.

tls: (tiny ls)
  * Consumes only about 4K of memory on an m68k!
    (saves about 10K in the ramdisk...)
  * Long format only, nothing fancy.

Also, in the new "src/distrib/utils" area, I've made build
directories for some programs that build smaller versions,
usually by adding special CFLAGS

init_s:  (built with -DLETS_GET_SMALL)
  * Forces single-user mode
  * Eliminates unnecessary code

libhack:   small implementation of some libc functions
  * Needs only /etc/passwd (not pwd.db, spwd.db)
  * Reduces size of an m68k crunched binary by about 64K

x_dd:  built with -DNO_CONV (no conv=* options)

x_ifconfig:  supports inet only

The x_ prefix on the above is to make the names unique so
crunchgen will not confuse them with the real sources.
